First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 12, 2026 · Updated 26 times

Summary

This study looked at a new blood marker called EM66 to see if it can better tell apart people with rare adrenal tumors (pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma) from those with regular high blood pressure. About 60 adults with suspected tumors or known genetic risk took part. The goal is to improve diagnosis and avoid unnecessary tests.
